Anyone happen to see this release??? Any opinions??? Media Metrix Ranks Juno Among Top 10 in User Loyalty; Juno Leads Microsoft Network, Netscape and Prodigy BusinessWire, Wednesday, June 16, 1999 at 08:10 NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 1999--Juno Online Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JWEB) announced today that its Internet service has received a top rating in a Media Metrix Top 10 Digital Media and Web Site Loyalty ranking for the month of April. According to Media Metrix (NASDAQ:MMXI), a leader and pioneer in Internet and digital media measurement, Juno's Internet service placed seventh in "loyalty," a measure of how frequently users return to a particular Web site or application during a month. Only certain Web destinations and applications controlled by America Online and PointCast scored higher in the Media Metrix survey, with Juno outflanking all other sites and services, including Microsoft Network, Netscape and Prodigy. "Media Metrix's report on Juno users' loyalty demonstrates our leadership role as an access provider for the everyday user," said Charles Ardai, Juno's president. "Juno is an easy, reliable path onto the Internet that not only attracts users, but offers them the day-to-day functions they need to keep returning to the service." Juno, which has over 6.8 million accounts, offers multiple levels of Internet service, with three service options including Juno(R) basic e-mail; Juno Gold(SM), enhanced e-mail with file attachments; and Juno Web(SM), full Internet access. The Media Metrix findings are based on "Average Usage Days," defined as the average number of days a person returns to a Web site, channel or application within a month. The study defines Digital Media as the Web, proprietary online services, and/or other ad-supported digital applications such as e-mail services and CD-ROMs. Thirty-two percent of the top 50 sites ranked in the loyalty study are online proprietary services, including Juno.
